Welcome to FALL!!!!!<br />

With summer over and Main Event and Labor Day weekends behind us, we<br />

head into fall and Fall Fest Weekend. Unfortunately, it is that time of year to start<br />

packing up our campers and raking the leaves.<br />

Fall is still a great time for <strong>Woodhaven</strong>. Walks and bike rides along the trails,<br />

improved fishing in the lakes and cool nights with fires on our lots.<br />

The Board of Directors has appointed Bernie Karlic to replace the rest of the<br />

term left vacant by the resignation of Mark Kotte. Bernie, along with four other<br />

Board Members will be up for election again next year. The Board had come up<br />

with several great choices and, after much discussion, decided unanimously to<br />

appoint Bernie. Welcome aboard!!<br />

The Board’s main effort this fall will be spent attending the budget hearings and<br />

working on approving an assessment for the 2014-2015 year. All of this should be<br />

done by the December Board Meeting.<br />

I want to thank all who attended the Annual Meeting in August. Several items<br />

were brought up and will be discussed over the next few months at our workshops.<br />

At the volunteer dinner I thanked all of the wonderful volunteers that help<br />

<strong>Woodhaven</strong> operate all of the wonderful activities and clubs. I mentioned that the<br />

Board is very grateful for all of their efforts and I thanked them by letting them all<br />

know that I look on them as treasured assets of <strong>Woodhaven</strong>.<br />

Activities and schedules are winding down. Make sure you check online to get<br />

all of the last minute schedules for any weekend you will be attending.<br />

Remember to use the speak-up sheets to ask about issues that you might have at<br />

<strong>Woodhaven</strong>. Also, use of a speak-up sheet to commend service or activities that you<br />

This year’s Labor Day Weekend provided better than average weather conditions<br />

and many of our owners took of advantage of these conditions to spend some<br />

time at <strong>Woodhaven</strong>. Gate records show approximately 3,000 lots in attendance<br />

and, based on these totals, we would estimate overall attendance of about 13,500.<br />

Regardless of where you chose to spend your Labor Day Weekend, we hope<br />

everyone had a great time and we also want to thank you for another great summer<br />

season at <strong>Woodhaven</strong> Lakes.<br />

As we move into our fall and winter schedules, please make a note of the<br />

published changes in hours at our facilities. We continue to provide our owners and<br />

guests with a number events and activities for your enjoyment, and we encourage<br />

everyone to set aside some time to visit <strong>Woodhaven</strong> throughout the year.<br />

Annual Meeting<br />

The Annual Meeting was held on Sunday, August 25th, at 1:00 p.m., approximately<br />

65 lots were represented and many owners took time out of their Sunday<br />

activities to attend <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Annual Meeting. Those in attendance heard<br />

reports from the <strong>Association</strong>’s Treasurer, President, Executive Director and General<br />

Manager. A question and answer session followed the prepared reports and the<br />

meeting adjourned at about 2:30 p.m.<br />

During the acknowledgments portion of the Annual Meeting, a brief report was<br />

provided on the results of our Property Owner Referral Program. Existing Property<br />

Owners had referred 135 buyers to our real estate office since the August 26, 2012<br />

Budget Process<br />

For <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s management and staff, the next several months are devoted to<br />

preparing and presenting the <strong>Association</strong>’s 2014-2015 annual budget. We will work<br />

closely with the Finance and Facilities Planning Committees to prepare a preliminary<br />

budget to be presented to the Property Owners and ultimately to the Board of<br />

Directors for approval. The Facilities Planning Committee has completed a review<br />

of next year’s projects and the Finance Committee will complete its initial review<br />

of the operating budget on September 21st.<br />

Current year projections and several years of actual history are used to establish a<br />

preliminary operating budget for review and discussion. Major repair, renovation,<br />

replacement and possible new projects are also evaluated within our reserve plan,<br />

and approved changes are incorporated into the planning process. Several budget<br />

workshops and related meetings will be held to refine the budget and prepare it<br />

for presentation to the membership at the Budget Hearing scheduled for Saturday,<br />

November 9th at <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Lakeview Building. Following the hearing,<br />

additional adjustments will be made where they are needed to finalize the assessment<br />

levels for next year.<br />

Please make note of the change in location for the Budget Hearing. With the<br />

construction planned this fall at the Family Center, Beach and Pool II complex, we<br />

have decided to move the Budget Hearing to the Lakeview Building.<br />

The long-range assessment plan recommended during last year’s process projects<br />

assessments to increase from $1,120 for lots with sewer services to $1,170; and<br />

from $952 for lots without sewer services to $1,000. As we have with prior<br />

increases, the proposed assessment level is projected to remain the same for 3 more<br />

years, through fiscal year 2016-2017.<br />

September: Sat. & Sun. 8 a.m. - Noon<br />

<strong>October</strong> 1-13: Sat. & Sun. 8 a.m.-11 a.m.<br />

<strong>October</strong> <strong>2013</strong>


Based on this plan, the average incremental change in assessments since<br />

acquiring the water and sewer assets in 2008 calculates to an annual equivalent of<br />

about 1.43% per year. In addition to this analysis, we also calculated the change in<br />

annual assessments including water and sewer fees from 1985 when the <strong>Association</strong><br />

completed its transition from the developer. At that time the assessment and fees<br />

for a sewered lot totaled $557. The average incremental change since 1985 through<br />

fiscal year 2016-2017 calculates to an annual equivalent of about 2.42% per year. A<br />

statistical analysis process is sometimes overlooked in the assessment decision, but<br />

it does provide a basis for comparison with other factors. For example, from 1985<br />

through <strong>2013</strong> the price of gasoline has increase by an annual equivalent of 4.03%<br />

to 4.33% per year; minimum wage has increased at an annual equivalent of 4.67%<br />

per year in Illinois and 3.27% per year on a combined analysis of the Federal and<br />

Illinois rates; average home values at an annual equivalent of 3.40% per year; and<br />

social security at an annual equivalent of 2.83% per year.<br />

Considering this data, we can demonstrate the <strong>Association</strong> is accomplishing<br />

the objective of working well within normal inflationary levels. As we look to<br />

the future it is important for us to continue to increase the assessment at moderate<br />

levels and within inflationary norms to maintain and improve the services we<br />

provide for our membership. Improvements you can look forward to include the<br />

continued resurfacing of our roads, enhancements to the Pool 2 and beach area,<br />

lift station renovations, and addressing a growing demand for access to internet<br />

services. In addition to internal improvements, some of the financial issues<br />

facing the <strong>Association</strong> include external factors like the minimum wage debate and<br />

changing requirements with healthcare.<br />

As noted in the Annual Report, a lot-to-lot internet access program will require a<br />

substantial investment from owners with preliminary estimates indicating assessment<br />

increases of $400 to $600 per year. Obviously we will not be able to address<br />

this issue with a $50 increase; however, we should be able to improve the existing<br />

hotspots and provide increased access from these locations. Our current network is<br />

supported with bandwidth capacity of about 20 Megs, which is only slightly higher<br />

than most high speed residential home services. Over the Labor Day Weekend<br />

there were multiple occasions when more than 500 devices were connected through<br />

the Wi-Fi hotspots. Our system was overloaded and many individuals were not<br />

able to access these services. Our immediate goal is to significantly increase our<br />

bandwidth capacity to provide more support for the hotspots. Please read the WiFi<br />

Hotspot article on page 18 for more information on our current network.<br />

There are many budget issues for us to work through this year and adjustments<br />

will be made before the final fund allocations are completed and submitted for<br />

Board approval in December. At the December 9th, <strong>2013</strong> Board Meeting, the<br />

committee’s recommended assessment levels will be presented for Board approval.<br />

The assessment invoices will be prepared based on the approved fund allocations<br />

established within the assessment and invoices will be mailed to owners in January<br />

2014. With the fund allocations approved, the budget planning process shifts its<br />

focus to finalizing the line item budget, updating our five-year operating plan, and<br />

adjusting our reserve plan so the Annual Budget Report can be approved at the<br />

March 2014 Board Meeting. With each issue of the <strong>Woodhaven</strong> News, we will<br />

provide you with updates on the budget process as we work through this task over<br />

the next several months.<br />

Firearm Concealed Carry Act and <strong>Woodhaven</strong><br />

With the State’s enactment of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, the Board<br />

sought legal opinion to determine what, if anything, the <strong>Association</strong> needed to be<br />

compliant. For all practical purposes, the <strong>Association</strong>’s rule prohibiting the carry<br />

or use of firearms is lawful. Because of our private property status, the <strong>Association</strong><br />

may restrict concealed carry of firearms on most common areas but must post<br />

regulated signs. The Illinois State Police Department is currently in the process of<br />

establishing the required signage.<br />

Rules specific to firearms and guns in general can be found under Article I<br />

sections 11 and 12, which states, “Section 11. Air Guns. The use of air or spring<br />

powered rifles or handguns, bows or crossbows of any type are prohibited.<br />

Possession of these weapons, for purposes other than transporting in a vehicle<br />

and out of the public’s view, is prohibited from <strong>Association</strong> common areas; and,<br />

Section 12. Firearms. No person, other than those specifically designated by State<br />

<strong>Woodhaven</strong> Lake Activity<br />

Area<br />

Plans for renovations to the pool<br />

bathhouse/concession stand and pool<br />

entrance, and, for the beach improvements,<br />

moved forward in September<br />

with the submission of design specifications<br />

to the Illinois Department of<br />

Public Health and in the posting of<br />

notice to bid on six areas of demolition<br />

and/or construction. Approval from the<br />

State could take two to five weeks and<br />

hopefully will not require additional<br />

work. At this time the Board is tentatively<br />

scheduled to hold a Special<br />

Meeting on <strong>October</strong> 4th, for the purpose<br />

of approving bids. Work on the parking<br />

lot and construction of the bathhouse/<br />

concession extension and roofing will<br />

begin late <strong>October</strong>.<br />

2014 Restricted Projects,<br />

Continued<br />

The Facilities Planning Committee<br />

completed their initial review of<br />

proposed projects for 2014-2015.<br />

Scheduled items in the Recreation<br />

Department include replacement of:<br />

the Pinball Machine, <strong>Woodhaven</strong><br />

Lake Playground Structure, Black<br />

Oak Lake Playground structure, and<br />

the playground surface in section 17.<br />

The basketball/tennis courts at both<br />

the RecPlex and <strong>Woodhaven</strong> Lake<br />

Activity Area need to be resurfaced;<br />

sport surface tiles are being considered<br />

as opposed to asphalt and paint.<br />

In Aquatics, scheduled items include:<br />

continued work on both pool’s filtration<br />

systems electrical elements, replacement<br />

of the diving board stand at pool<br />

1, and the acid feeders for both pools.<br />

At the beach, the wooden guard chairs<br />

need to be replaced. Consideration is<br />

being given to replacing the safety row<br />

boat with a stable and safer to use water<br />

safety boat with a heavy duty trolling<br />

motor.<br />

<strong>October</strong> <strong>2013</strong>


Also being proposed but not on the schedule are sound buffers or baffles for<br />

the Lakeview Building. This is a high use facility for both meetings and social<br />

events; the noise created with just conversation can be overwhelming. Over the<br />

last year we have been experiencing moderate to excessive water loss through the<br />

ponds and creaks at the mini golf course. A project to seal these waterways is being<br />

investigated for possible funding in 2014. The Committee discussed at length the<br />

development of a water playground; their recommendation to the Board is to have a<br />

feasibility study conducted to properly assess need, location, and potential cost.<br />

In the Water/Sewer Department, projects include: restoration to three lift stations,<br />

sand blasting and painting the stand pipe and purchasing a portable generator. Other<br />

funding would be attributed to annual allocations used for unforeseen repairs to the<br />

water and sewer mains as well as any necessary engineering or other related profession<br />

services. These funds are typically used on an as needed bases.<br />

The Facilities Planning Committee will meet in <strong>October</strong> to make a recommendation<br />

on the list of projects to be considered in 2014-2015. The entire list will be<br />

included in the Budget Hearing documents which will be printed in the November<br />

or December issue of the <strong>Woodhaven</strong> News.<br />

<strong>Woodhaven</strong> After Labor Day<br />

There is so much more to <strong>Woodhaven</strong> than what happens between Memorial<br />

weekend and Labor Day. Fall’s colors should be at their peak, just in time for our<br />

Fall Fest weekend, <strong>October</strong> 12 and 13; a detailed schedule is included on page<br />

16. The Children’s Halloween Party will be held Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 26th at the<br />

RecPlex. If you are wanting or needing relaxation, try a cozy camp fire on a crisp<br />

fall evening. Take a hike! on any of our 14 miles of gravel or grass trails; hiking<br />

maps can be picked up at the <strong>Association</strong> Office or viewed on our website: www.<br />

woodhavenassociation.com. Reservations for the annual Thanksgiving Dinner held<br />

Saturday, November 23, are being taken at the office; don’t wait too long as this<br />

very popular event does have a limited number of seats. Invitations are sent to last<br />

year’s participants.<br />

Fall Festival<br />

<strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Recreation staff has prepared a number of programs and activities<br />

for <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Fall Festival weekend. We hope all of you will have the opportunity<br />

and will make plans to enjoy <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Fall Festival weekend on <strong>October</strong><br />

12th and 13th.<br />

Following Fall Fest weekend, the <strong>Association</strong> Office will be closed on Sundays.<br />

Loose-Leaf Pickup Begins In <strong>October</strong><br />

Loose-leaf pickup season will begin <strong>October</strong> 15 and will run through November<br />

30. Rake leaves, grass clippings, pine needles, and other leafy materials to the front<br />

of your lot along the road in a windrow. A windrow is when the pile of leaves is<br />

strung out along an area in a narrow row. Leaf piles should be within 5 feet of the<br />

roadway but not blocking or obstructing traffic so that the vacuum tube is able to<br />

reach the pile effectively; the vacuum has limited reach.<br />

Paper bag pickup will end <strong>October</strong> 14 while brush pick up continues each week<br />

through November 30.<br />

The leaf vacuum is designed to pick up leafy materials so do not incorporate<br />

sticks, rocks, soil and trash into the piles to be vacuumed. Piles with these types<br />

of material will not be picked up. When attempting to pick this foreign material<br />

up with the leaf vacuum, time is lost due to frequent clogging in the hose and/or<br />

damage to the unit. Piles not picked up will be the responsibility of the owner/<br />

contractor to dispose of and/or separate any debris in the piles.<br />

Landscape material is not allowed to be put in or around the dumpsters so please<br />

utilize the landscape pickup service.<br />

Property Owners wanting to utilize this service are instructed to sign up at one<br />

of 4 locations on property. This is the same procedure used in all landscape waste<br />

pick up. The sign-up sheets are located at the True Value Store, Administration<br />

Receptionist Desk, General Store, and Gate. We ask that information written down<br />

be legible since it must be transferred to another worksheet that is given to the<br />

vacuum operators.<br />

The procedure for lot-to-lot pickup is as follows:<br />

1. Lists are picked up on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week during<br />

the pickup period.<br />

2. Each list is compiled and given to the vacuum operator.<br />

3. The vacuum operators finish the current list before moving on to the next.<br />

The above procedure is the fairest most practical method to those requesting this<br />

service. Be aware that the vacuum fills up thus requiring a trip to the composting<br />

area behind the True Value store. Your leaves will get picked up as long as you sign<br />

up for the service. On occasion, due to human error in the transfer of information,<br />

lots are inadvertently missed. Please contact the Resource Department.<br />

Fall Rainbow Trout Fishing<br />

The season will officially open at 6:00 a.m. on the Saturday of Fall Fest weekend,<br />

<strong>October</strong> 12.<br />

We will once again be stocking rainbow trout into Pine, Bluegill, and Hidden<br />

lakes for fall fishing. This coming fall 1000 pounds total of rainbow trout will be<br />

stocked into the above mentioned lakes only. These fish will be approximately 1<br />

pound plus in size. The catch limit is set at 3 fish per day, not per lake. Anyone<br />

that plans on catching/taking these fish will be required to have an Illinois Fishing<br />

License as well as an Inland Trout Stamp. Since other species of game fish are<br />

present in these lakes, anyone fishing these waters with the intent of not catching<br />

or keeping any trout will not be required to have an Inland Trout Stamp. Any trout<br />

caught by these anglers must be returned to the lake. The season will officially<br />

open at 6:00 a.m. on the Saturday of Fall Fest weekend, <strong>October</strong> 12. Lakes<br />

containing trout will be closed once trout are stocked until the opening time.<br />

I am issuing this disclaimer that if conditions arise which prevent the stocking<br />

for the Saturday of Fall Fest weekend, the trout will be stocked as soon as conditions<br />

allow! In the event known changes arise, a message will be posted on<br />

<strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s website indicating such changes.<br />

These fish are stocked as an alternative species to pursue during the fall, winter,<br />

and spring. Trout are not intended to be an ongoing fishery as is the case with bass<br />

and bluegill species, which have sustaining populations. Trout will not reproduce<br />

in our lakes nor tolerate our summertime water temperatures. The intent is to put<br />

the trout in for Property Owners and guests to utilize for sport and food. It is hoped<br />

that all trout stocked will be utilized by the time the water temperatures reach 70<br />

degrees the following summer. Trout are coldwater species thus they will not<br />

survive in water over 70 degrees for extended periods. By stocking these fish in the<br />

fall, it allows 3 consecutive seasons of use (fall, winter, and spring).<br />

One does not need a fly rod to fish for trout; a light spinning or casting rod works<br />

equally well, if not better, on most occasions. Trout will take a variety of baits and<br />

small artificial lures. The key is to think small when it comes to rigging your pole<br />

for trout. Use small lures, hooks, bobbers, and weights when pursuing trout. Baits<br />

used for bluegill such as wax worms, night crawlers, and red worms will also work<br />

for trout. In the past, cheese has worked well for catching trout, as did Trout Power<br />

Bait made by Berkley. Mini-marshmallows have also worked well for the trout.<br />

Roll the cheese (Velveeta works well for this) or Power Bait into a ball and place<br />

on a small number 12-14 treble hook. This can be fished under a bobber or on the<br />

bottom with a light weight attached 12-18 inches above the hook.<br />

Catch and release angling for the trout is discouraged due to the fact that these<br />

fish have very low survival when handled. It would not be fair to other anglers for<br />

one person to catch trout above the limit only to have them die when released. An<br />

angler, with a trout stamp, not intending to keep trout can give his limit of 3 fish<br />

away. Once 3 fish are caught you will not be able to catch anymore fish for that<br />

day. Anglers are not allowed to have in possession more than 3 fish on a given day.<br />

Anglers must also keep his or her fish separate from other anglers in a group.<br />

Plan to Remove Your Boat from Lake Storage Areas<br />

This is a reminder to pick up your boats from the lake storage areas as well as<br />

any common areas around the lakes prior to December 1. Boats stored at the designated<br />

boat storage areas or any common area must be removed between December<br />

1 and March 1. By doing so, those boats that are abandoned can be identified<br />

and steps can be taken to locate the owner. In addition, routine maintenance can<br />

be performed if needed. This is also a good time for watercraft owners to make<br />

sure that the registration sticker is current and the section/lot numbers are affixed<br />

to the outside of the boat. Staff will pick up remaining boats after December 1.<br />

Notification letters will be sent out to the owners of boats as long as the section/lot<br />

number appears on the outside of the boat. To reclaim a boat picked up by staff, the<br />

owner will be required to pay fees for pickup and storage as well as provide proof<br />

of ownership. Any boats not claimed will be auctioned off after a period of one<br />

year. Please take time this fall to pick up your boats from all common areas. If you<br />

have questions concerning this matter, please contact the Resource Department at<br />

(815) 849-5209 extension 258.<br />

Improper Landscape Waste Disposal Practice<br />

As a reminder landscape waste including ashes and other debris are not to<br />

be dumped into any common areas including: lake shorelines and ditches. This<br />

practice is detrimental to native communities of plants and animals as well as being<br />

unsightly. The debris can also be dangerous while mowing in the designated mow<br />

areas. Please utilize the landscape waste pickup services outlined in this article to<br />

keep our property looking beautiful.<br />

Bass Lake Sediment Removal Project Set to Begin<br />

Here at the end of August, the contractor is bringing in his equipment in preparation<br />

for the dredge project slated for the fall. The crews have run the pipe from the<br />

spoils basin down to the finger of Bass Lake in Section 2/3. This pipe will carry the<br />

sediment-water slurry up to the spoils basin in Section 5 near the sled hill. In the<br />

basin, sediment will settle out of the water and the clear water will return to Bass<br />

Lake. In addition, there are two barges that have been placed on the lake to carry<br />

support equipment.<br />

At the Bass Lake ramp area, the crew will be fusing additional pipe together<br />

following the Labor Day weekend. This pipe will follow the dredge out into the<br />

lake and connect to the other section of pipe referenced above. All together there<br />

will be approximately a mile of pipeline when the dredge is at the very south part of<br />

the lake.<br />

Based on recommendations made by the engineer, dredging will be conducted<br />

in the fingers, as well as sections of shorelines in 2, 3, 4, 7, 10 & 11. The dredge<br />

will stay off shorelines a distance of 5 feet so as not to undermine existing seawalls.<br />

There will be an approximately 25 foot swath along the selected shorelines in the<br />

project. Also included will be the extension of the two west fingers in Sections 2,<br />

3 & 4. Originally, this was to be a separate phase but there will be cost benefits by<br />

including at this time. The areas dredged cannot exceed the capacity of the spoils<br />

basin which is approximately 18,000 cubic yards of material.<br />

Bass Lake will benefit from the dredge project since a significant amount of<br />

sediment has accumulated mainly in the backs of the two west fingers over the<br />

past 12 years as well as in other areas. The upcoming project is geared toward<br />

removing accumulated sediment down to the “original” lake bottom. Depending<br />

on the area of the lake this could be from 1 – 3 feet of sediment. This will increase<br />

depths in areas of the lake while removing a portion of accumulated nutrients that<br />

exist in the bottom of the lake.<br />

The project is scheduled to finish up in December given adequate weather<br />

through the period and few obstacles to slow the progress. If not finished this fall,<br />

work will continue into the spring as soon as conditions allow.<br />

Haunted House – The Haunts of Holcombe Hall<br />

<br />

It will be a Boo-tiful evening when we hold our very own Haunted House at<br />

“The Haunts of Holcombe Hall”. The Department of Recreation will be pulling<br />

out all the stops to bring this tradition to you. Are you looking for a good scare?<br />

Well then, bring the entire family to the Pool 1 area (Holcombe Hall is the building<br />

located left of the pool) on Saturday evening for some spooky fun!<br />

The Haunted House will run in two sessions.<br />

Jr. Session: The first session from 4-6:30 p.m. will be for children under 12,<br />

since it is still light out and the young ones may not scare as easily. We will also be<br />

playing Halloween Party Music in the house, rather than the scary/creepy sounds<br />

that will be abound in the later session and we will have fewer characters present.<br />

Sr. Session: The second session will be from 7:30-10 p.m. - be ready for some<br />

excitement! All the “ghouls” will be out.<br />

The Haunted House will be operating rain or no rain, warm or cold, so dress for<br />

the weather! ($2)<br />

(Please remember that the “spooks” will be taking a break from 6:30-7:30 p.m!)<br />

Haunted House Rules & Acknowledgements<br />

• Do not touch the ghouls (volunteers) or you will be escorted out<br />

• Do not touch the props or disturb the set design or you will be escorted out<br />

Magic Matt’s Spooky Fun Show<br />

<br />

He’s Back! Magician Matthew Scherer will present his Spooky-Fun Magic<br />

Show on Fall Fest Weekend. Audiences will delight in magically illustrated stories<br />

featuring goofy ghosts, silly skeletons and more. Following the show Magic Matt<br />

will teach the audience a simple magic trick too! This is a family-fun program for<br />

all ages. Magic Matt will be here for two shows on Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 13 at 11 a.m.<br />

and 2 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room<br />

Flea Market<br />

<br />

This is your last chance of the year to hunt for that special bargain or unique<br />

collectable. Come to the Rec Plex on Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 13th from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.<br />

to look for those treasures that can’t be found just anywhere. This is your chance to<br />

get the first of your Christmas shopping done. Don’t miss this great opportunity!<br />

The Great Pumpkin Patch – a <strong>Woodhaven</strong> Tradition<br />

<br />

This year’s pumpkin patch is going to be packed with pumpkins. Each year, the<br />

popularity of this program grows… there will be over 1,700 pumpkins, so come<br />

one, come all. The Pumpkin “Hunt” has most certainly become a tradition for<br />

<strong>Woodhaven</strong> Property Owners and their families.<br />

Pumpkin tickets will be made available at the carnival ticket tent near the<br />

Pavilion Playground on Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 12 from 11 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. as well as<br />

the usual time on Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 13 at 9 a.m. Only one representative from your<br />

family needs to be present to purchase tickets. Multiple tickets can be purchased<br />

at this time. However, tickets will be limited to one (1) for each person in your<br />

group that will be present at the hunt between 12 noon – 3 p.m. (In other words you<br />

cannot purchase more than one pumpkin per person).<br />

Parking for the Ticket Sale and the Pumpkin Hunt will be available in the<br />

General Store parking lot as well as the Rec Plex parking lot.<br />

Each person who purchases a ticket will receive a different number between<br />

1-1700 when they enter the pumpkin patch. Your goal is to find the pumpkin in the<br />

patch that matches your number.<br />

The Pumpkin Patch will be open from 12 Noon -3 p.m. for you to redeem your<br />

ticket for a pumpkin on Sunday. Once you have purchased your pumpkin ticket,<br />

you can pick up your pumpkin anytime between 12 Noon-3 p.m. Each ticket<br />

is assured to receive a pumpkin! This means you will have more opportunity to<br />

enjoy other activities that will be taking place throughout the weekend. Stop at the<br />

wooded field next to the General Store starting at 9 a.m. on Sunday to purchase<br />

your official “Great Pumpkin Hunt Ticket”. We do recommend that you purchase<br />

your tickets in advance. ($2)<br />

Halloween Party for children (ages 13 and under) and their parents. The fun will be<br />

held at the Rec Plex beginning at 1 p.m. Participants will enjoy playing a variety<br />

of Halloween Games such as Gourdo Buckets, Dracula’s Stake Toss, Cookie Walk,<br />

Pumpkin Bowling, and Halloween Shoot-Out to win prizes such as candy, gourds,<br />

and other treats! Cookies and juice will be served to all participants!<br />

At approximately 2:30 p.m. just before everyone’s departure, parents will be<br />

given a list of businesses and properties that will give out candy to children who<br />

come to trick or treat in their costumes.<br />

The Halloween Party will cost $3 per participant and this does include parents<br />

and grandparents, who we encourage to come and enjoy the even with the children.<br />

Trick or Treat List<br />

Are you interested in being on <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Trick or Treat List for the Children’s<br />

Halloween Party on <strong>October</strong> 26? Please stop by or call the <strong>Association</strong> Office<br />

at 815-849-5209 with your name, section and lot number, phone number, and<br />

home address (so that signs can be mailed to you). If you are interested in being a<br />

sponsor for trick or treat you must register with the <strong>Association</strong> Office no later than<br />

26. We anticipate approximately 150-175 trick or treaters and Halloween party<br />

GOBBLE - GOBBLE at <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Thanksgiving Dinner<br />

<br />

The Department of Recreation will host the 2012 Thanksgiving Potluck Dinner<br />

on Saturday, November 23 at the Multi-Purpose Room at 1 p.m..<br />

Arrangements will be handled according to the typical potluck dinner procedures.<br />

You are asked to bring a dish to pass, however we ask that you bring your favorite<br />

Thanksgiving Dinner Dessert. This may be, but is not limited to, cookies, brownies,<br />

pie, cake, or confections. Please bring enough for twice the number in your group.<br />

Table service is provided (plates, napkins, cups, silverware).<br />

Why only desserts? Because the main dishes – roasted turkey, mashed potatoes,<br />

sweet potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, cranberry sauce, etc., will be provided.<br />

Dinner is served buffet style. Beginning at the designated time, each table will be<br />

called up 1 by 1. This means that dinner will begin being served at the designated<br />

hour, and your table will enter the buffet line as your number is called.<br />

Registration forms will be mailed to 2012 participants in mid- September or you<br />

may pick them up at the <strong>Association</strong> Office.<br />

Dear Property Owners and Fellow Wi-Fi Users,<br />

I hope this summer has found you enjoying all of the natural wonders as well as<br />

technological benefits that <strong>Woodhaven</strong> provides. Labor Day weekend of the <strong>2013</strong><br />

season is now behind us, and I felt this would be a great opportunity to address<br />

some of <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s technology issues with all of you, specifically in regards to<br />

our public Wi-Fi system.<br />

I routinely receive questions regarding the usage process and future development<br />

plans for our public Wi-Fi coverage.<br />

Due to the limited amount of bandwidth coming into the <strong>Association</strong>, we do<br />

not have any current plans for significantly expanding the Wi-Fi coverage. The<br />

<strong>Association</strong> currently receives a total of 20 Mbps from our Internet Service<br />

Provider, and this network traffic is shared amongst all facilities for business<br />

purposes as well as public coverage. This is simply not enough to dramatically<br />

expand our coverage. On busy weekends, literally hundreds of unique users<br />

attempt to access the network at any given time. As an example, on Sunday<br />

of Labor Day weekend, we peaked out at almost 500 devices at a single time<br />

attempting to access the network. Most basic cellphone data plans offer more<br />

downstream bandwidth than what we are given by the ISP to share between all of<br />

these clients. As you can see, this is why on busy weekends it can be so difficult to<br />

connect, stay connected, or have access to decent speeds.<br />

Another obstacle to significant expansion is the lack of a fully encompassing<br />

wired backbone from which to branch off of. Building a massive, fully redundant,<br />

dynamically routed network throughout the park would be an expense only made<br />

possible by a significant increase in assessment amounts. There’s no doubt that<br />

some members may be interested in such a feat, but history tends to suggest<br />

otherwise. When T6 Broadband, our Internet Service Provider, initially implemented<br />

the tower that you see in front of <strong>Woodhaven</strong>, their plan was to offer<br />

wireless internet access at a fair price to <strong>Woodhaven</strong> members who were willing<br />

to pay them for service. Today, 7 years later, there are only a small handful<br />

of members who have ever signed up for the service. This suggests that most<br />

members would not be willing to spend even a modest monthly fee for a wireless<br />

Internet connection.<br />

There are also usage guidelines that, while not official, should be paid attention<br />

to while utilizing the public system. Since bandwidth is shared by everyone, the<br />

intentions of the network have never been bandwidth intensive video streaming<br />

over the Internet and other such resource hungry computing tasks. As a service<br />

that is provided as part of your assessment, the Wi-Fi locations that we offer are in<br />

place to serve as a point of presence for moderate Internet usage, web browsing,<br />

checking email, and similar tasks. Especially during busy weekends and trafficheavy<br />

summer days when the park is full, you should not expect to get more than<br />

a couple Megabits per second at the absolute most. The system is designed to<br />

provide a fair connection for a moderate amount of people. There may be times<br />

during these busy weekends that you will not be able to connect to the Wi-Fi at all.<br />

This is because the system is simply overloaded and no more IP addresses will be<br />

handed out at that time.<br />

Over the course of the past year or so, we’ve also had numerous members<br />

attempt to connect external bridging devices and other devices such as repeaters<br />

and high-gain directional antennas to our network in an attempt to connect from<br />

a distance that would normally be “out of range”. These devices have repeatedly<br />

and consistently wreaked havoc on our internal network due to misconfiguration<br />

issues. Most, if not all, of these misconfiguration issues stem from devices that the<br />

<strong>Association</strong> is not informed about. Stated another way, the network was designed<br />

to provide access to client devices only, such as laptops, tablets, Wi-Fi enabled<br />

phones, and comparable devices. (Another example would be an iPod touch or<br />

Wi-Fi enabled, handheld device.) Attempting to extend to, or repeat from, the<br />

network locations with self-purchased bridging or repeating gear impacts network<br />

performance adversely and further degrades the network experience for other users<br />

on the network. We would ask that to be fair to everyone involved to please utilize<br />

the network in the way in which it was designed. Connecting to the network with<br />

a repeater or bridge that we are unware of may cause you to be disconnected or<br />

blocked from the network.<br />

I do hope that I’ve answered some of your questions and concerns regarding<br />

<strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Wi-Fi locations. I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer season,<br />

whether you are emailing, surfing the web, or simply sitting by the campfire.<br />

Happy Browsing!<br />

Chris Myers, Systems Administrator<br />

WINTERIZING: Why take a chance with frozen plumbing this winter? Why taste anti-freeze all summer? We will do it for you, when it becomes necessary, and guarantee the job - without<br />

putting anti-freeze in your pipes. Get on our PERMANENT winterizing list now and never worry about your plumbing again.<br />

In addition to our GUARANTEED WINTERIZING , we also offer two other services, WINTER WATCH & SPRING PHYSICAL.<br />

WINTER WATCH: We will do a weekly check of your trailer to see if everything is alright. Every other week, mid-November through March, we will enter the trailer to check for mice,<br />

vandalism, roof leaks, etc. On alternate weeks, we will drive by to check the outside of the trailer. A record of each visit will be kept in your unit and in our file, and you will be notified by phone<br />

or mail of any problems which require your attention.<br />

SPRING PHYSICAL: In the spring, when weather permits, we will give your unit a complete check-up. We will check all appliances for proper operation and also check your roof, skin, and floor<br />

for damage and condition. We will check the water system for leaks and if there are any, they will be repaired free of charge*. (*ONLY if we winterized and if no water was put into the system<br />

before the spring physical)<br />

AND THE RESULTS ARE TRULY AMAZING !<br />

November 17, 1937-July 7, <strong>2013</strong><br />

God saw you were getting tired,<br />

and a cure was not to be.<br />

So He put His arms around you<br />

and whispered “Come with me.”<br />

With tearful hearts we watched<br />

you fade away.<br />

Although we loved you dearly,<br />

we could not make you stay.<br />

A golden heart stopped beating,<br />

hard working hands at rest.<br />

God broke our hearts to prove to us,<br />

He only takes the best.<br />

and assistance after I was stung by a ground bee multiple times. Your help was<br />

Holy Hole in One!<br />

It has become my duty and pleasure to announce and shout to the readers of<br />

<strong>Woodhaven</strong> News that Gayle Gusak stroked a HOLE IN ONE at Shady Oaks<br />

links. It was August 6, <strong>2013</strong> on the 17th hole, which is 127 yards, par 3. Rich &<br />

Gayle bought their campsite in Section 18 way back in 1976. So they have been<br />

golfing at Shady Oaks many, many times. Gayle’s father started her golfing at<br />

about 12 years old, so she has been at it for awhile. This is her first and only hole<br />

in one. For the 9 holes they played that day, she shot a 44, not bad. So if you see<br />

Gayle, say “Congrats!”<br />
